This project is funded by St Helens Council and the Department for Education. This means that the sessions are all free of charge for young people from St Helens who are eligible for free school meals or receipt of a support plan or on an EHCP plan.
Spaces are limited so booking a place in advance is essential
Please be aware that anyone who reserves places on our activities and doesn't attend multiple times without cancelling will be removed from our current and future HAF registers, this is to ensure that families who want to attend aren't missing out due to families booking multiple activities on the same day for increased choice.

Additional information about HAF eligibility
Funded by the Department for Education, our FREE holiday activities and food (HAF) programme have been a huge success, providing healthy food and enriching activities for primary and secondary school-aged children eligible for benefits-related free school meals.
The HAF programme aims to support children to eat more healthily, be more active over the school holidays and have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition, as well as be more engaged with school and other local services.
Is my child eligible?
The HAF programme is primarily for children aged 4-18 years who are eligible for and receiving benefits-related free school meals (FSM), and their families. Children who receive a support plan via Early Help, Child In Need or Children We Look After, EHCP, or if your child receives additional hours at school then you are also eligible for the HAF programme.
